About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

The 2025-26 FAFSA® is Available Now – Why College-Bound Students And Families Should Complete It As Soon As Possible

More than a Quarter of Families Skipped FAFSA Last Year, Missing Out on Scholarships, Grants, and Federal Financial Aid

Sallie Mae Offers Free Step-by-Step Guide and Tools to Help More Families Complete the FAFSA

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for academic year 2025-26 is available now, and completing it is one of the most important steps for students and families planning for higher education – it’s the gateway to accessing more than $100 billion in scholarships, grants, and federal financial aid for college.

Completing the FAFSA as soon as possible is also critical as some school and state-based aid is limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Roughly a quarter of families (26%), however, skipped the FAFSA last year. Separately, one-quarter of families making less than $100,000 – those who would likely qualify for Pell grants and other need-based aid – chose not to file the FAFSA because they believed they made too much money.

"When it comes to paying for higher education, the last thing you want to do is leave free money on the table, so that’s why all students and families should complete the FAFSA,” said Rick Castellano, vice president, Sallie Mae. “Now is the time to get in line for scholarships, grants, and other aid that can help make college more accessible and affordable.”

Sallie Mae offers the following tips to help families complete the FAFSA with confidence:

  • Create an FSA ID — Both students and parents need a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID, before starting the FAFSA. Create one as soon as possible to avoid delays.
  • Know your deadlines — Many states and colleges set priority deadlines to submit the FAFSA to be considered for aid. Families can check deadlines for each state and school and use Sallie Mae’s free step-by-step FAFSA Guide to stay on track.
  • Remember to file each year — The FAFSA is not just for incoming freshmen. Undergraduate and graduate students should complete the FAFSA every year in school.
  • Don’t assume you won’t qualify for aid — Just about everyone who completes the FAFSA qualifies for some form of aid. In addition, some scholarship eligibility requires students to complete the FAFSA.
  • Avoid Errors — Mistakes on the FAFSA can delay the application and impact eligibility for aid. Carefully read all of the questions, do not leave any blank fields, and make sure you receive a confirmation after you submit it.
  • Never pay to fill out the FAFSA — Filing is free, period. There are also a variety of free resources available to help students and families complete the FAFSA.

Sallie Mae also offers free FAFSA webinars in English and Spanish and an award-winning video series to help students and families complete the FAFSA. Families can also connect to scholarships for free using Scholarship Search by Sallie, no registration required.
